Our Apple Mail Folders page has more information. Once the basic account has been set up, there’s an additional step needed to keep Mail folders in sync with other programs or devices that might connect to the mailbox, assuming you chose the recommended IMAP setting (POP doesn’t support server folders at all). It should now work for sending and receiving mail. You’re finished with the basic Apple Mail setup. If you want to keep things simple, we suggest you make sure it’s not checked. If you do that, the “Notes” application on your Mac will store them in a folder of this mailbox. Whether or not you check “Notes” is up to you. If it does so, make sure that at least Mail is checked.
